Re: Does the actiontec need to be MOCA when also using FIOS TV?
Thanks for everything! I called up Verizon, and after a little bit of runaround between Tech and Billing, I finally ended up with a Tech that understood what I was asking for. They switched me over, and said all I needed to do was connect it when I got home this evening. Crossing my fingers! |

Well, didn't work directly into my server, but works fine connected back into a router. Gonna try switching that end to crossover and cross my fingers... |

| It should work fine connecting directly via ethernet to a computer using a normal ethernet cable. When I first switched over from MoCA to ethernet I used a laptop with a patch cable to verify that it was working before I ran a CAT6 line from the ONT to my other router.
As More Fiber had previously stated you should not need to clone the MAC address. If you're still not getting a connection through your server make sure you release the IP from your router. If that still doesn't work, an ONT reboot should do the trick. |

Did you release the DHCP lease in the Actiontec before switching the cat5 cable away from the Actiontec?
It is imperative that you both:
•Release the DHCP lease
•Immediately disconnect the Actiontec to prevent it from reacquiring a new DHCP lease.

well, still no luck. I released the IP Lease, tanke the cable out of the router. Logged into the server and set that NIC to Auto Everything (DHCP, and DNS), plugged the cable from the ONT to the NIC, and waited, nada. Gonna try disconnecting the battery option. |

said by DickyDck  :well, still no luck. The FAQ that More Fiber pointed out shows the hierarchy of steps to take for success releasing the WAN IP. Rebooting the ONT is almost at the bottom of that list. Calling FSC *is* at the bottom of that list.
Since you had problems getting FSC to release previously, there's one more. Disconnect the router for a length of time. IP lease is usually two hours. Letting that lease expire *and* someone else picking up the old address is the combination that will ensure success when you turn your router back on. It depends on how busy the aggregating link is higher than the CO.
If you are forced to use that method, you may want to let a significant amount of time pass. I'm thinking overnight. |
